Cayetano Quintana

State of Michoacan beautiful Mexican landEstado de michoacan linda tierra mexicana
Memories are presentPresente son los recuerdos
Of a Sunday morningDe un domingo en la mañana
They captured prisonerAgarraron precionero
Cayetano QuintanaA cayetano quintana

Cayetano already knewCayetano ya sabía
They wanted to catch himQue lo quierian agarrar
The police chiefsLos jefes de policia
And the federal governmentY el gobierno federal
As he was a man of courageComo era hombre de valor
He didn't try to escapeNo se les quiso escapar

When the government arrivedCuando el gobierno llego
To make the arrestHacer en el aprendimiento
They surrounded his house wellLe rodiaro bien su casa
They shot into the airTiraron tiros al viento
The people were tremblingLa gente se extremecia
Cayetano was insideCayetano estaba dentro

Calling for surrenderLlamandole rendicion
With their weapons in handCon sus armas en las manos
As he was a man of courageComo era hombre de valor
He was a brave roosterEra un gallito jugado
In the town of TuzantlaEn el pueblo de tuzantla
He had already shown his worthYa las pruebas abia dado
The first feat he didLa primera azaña que hizo
I have it herePresente la tengo yo

With his gun in handCon su pistola en la mano
He entered the presidencyA la presindencia entro
Wanting to achieve his goalQueriendo lograr su intento
And if it was granted to himY si se le consedio
With his gun in handCon su pistola en la mano
Ready to lose his lifeDispuesto a perder la vida

He killed the presidentAsesino al presidete
And the secretary right awayY al secretario en seguida
He hit the boss in the foreheadAl jefe le dio en la frente
And immediately made his escapeY al momento dio salida
But now I bid farewellMás sin fin ya me despido
You must forgive meMe deven de dispensar

Here ends the balladAquí termina el corrido
That I came to sing to youQue yo les vine a cantar
